In SEOMOZ Pro campaign settings, is it possible to set Google Universal as a search engine?

Our client is not showing as listed in the top 50 results for a keyword in the US, yet I have just carried out a US search and he is on the 2nd page. I cannot understand why SEOMOZ is not picking this up... other than that it is doing a Google within the US search.

SEOMOZ does a weekly crawl on those results, they are not updated in real time. That means your website could have went up in rankings in-between crawls. It will pick up on the new rankings on its next crawl. It will say the next time it will be doing the crawl in the lower right of your dashboard under the rankings.

How about the universal Google search? is it possible to set this as one of the search engines in the campaign setup? I do not know enough about the different variants of the Google Search Engine so not sure if Google US is the universal version or not?

If what you mean by "Universal Search" is Googles search blending news, video, images, local ect, then the answer is yes. SEOmoz reports that in the rankings also. (Example: There will be a camera icon by your keyword if its an image that is ranking or a Pin point bubble looking icon if its a local listing)

Often times results are personalized based on prior search behavior from that browser, information based on the logged in user, the IP of the computer, etc. Have you opened an incognito / private browsing window and done a search for the terms and still had the same results?

We use what Google you select in your settings, but we don't do a "show only results from this country" in the search, if that's what you are asking.
